I’m making a DLL (and probably a Linux port at some later date) in C++ using eclipse. The situation is as follows: I am trying to make two separate build configurations, one that will build a DLL and one that will build an executable CppUnit test. Currently I have all of the DLL build working, and I can make a separate project to test the DLL with; however, I was wondering if there was any way to do this all in one project.
Help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
Well, I found out how to do it, so if anyone else stumbles across this…
If you go into “Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings”, then select a debug configuration (or create a new one). Go to the “Build Artifact” tab, and change the “Artifact Type” to executable.
Now to avoid having all of your source code compiled into all Build Configurations (such as your main() being built into a DLL, which doesn’t make much sense), go to “Project->Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols”. Select your build configuration and go to the “Source Location” tab. Here you can add new source folders/remove source folders that already exist.
